How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 12 ÷ 62 = 0.193548
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.193548 × 100 = 19.3548%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.3548% of 62 is 0.193548 × 62 = 12.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/62 = p/100, so p = 12 × 100 ÷ 62 = 19.3548%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12/62*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
